559302 2007-06-15 00:33:00 Anyone else having problems getting to IHUG's mail servers? My client is being refused access although it did manage to send an email earlier. It is even not getting to gmail's pop3 server, now.

Also got quite a few web page server not founds before rebooting the router.

Was pleased to find my speed on a 2Mbps account was 4.6Mbps earlier! Rebooted router and now it is back to 2.4Mbps. Boo hoo!

559304 2007-06-15 00:37:00 Looks like they have had problems since 5:30 Wednesday evening. I don't think much of their reliability record of late. linw (53)
559305 2007-06-15 01:51:00 It is an intermittant fault and if yr mail is checked on a regular basis it may just connect at a time when it is working I have had several emails come tru since this cropped up last one a few miniutes ago.One earlier about 5 min after I could not connect. kjaada (253)
559306 2007-06-15 03:01:00 Ihug's email is notorious for being fickle. Best to use other email, eg Gmail or a free Orcon email account. FoxyMX (5)
559307 2007-06-15 03:17:00 Ihug's web page has server notices on it and messages of the day, the email problem was on there.

FoxyMX I have been with Ihug since a couple of months after they set up business and I rarely have any problems with their service and very rarely their email. Maybe once every 2-3 years there is a small problem.

559308 2007-06-15 04:00:00 I do use gmail as my main account but, of course, I still need smtp.ihug to send mail from my client.

No one else getting a lot of server not founds? These just started for me this morning with no changes I can think of this end to cause them.

559309 2007-06-15 04:23:00 Well as it says on the Ihug site theyre screwed. It looks like its intermittent.

As I just checked my email and it didnt bring up an error.

So we'll just haveta wait for some idiot to fix them properly.

559311 2007-06-15 06:18:00 Ihug? Their service has got worse and worse.

Their reliability has got worse and worse.

Their helpdesk is sh**.

I am about to move house, and when I do, I'm switching providers. They are constantly having problems, and it is happening more and more.

Voted NZ's No.1 ISP? How the h*** did that happen?
